This document discusses making God the center of one's life and putting Him in control. It says that everything else in life, such as music, habits, work, etc. are gifts from God and pale in comparison to Him. It emphasizes that growth in following God is a process that involves making choices over time to serve and obey Him rather than our own desires or the ways of the world. The key is choosing each day to study God's word, pray to Him, listen to and obey Him, and keep going when we fail by asking forgiveness.
